Renewable energy use strategies focused on urban planning and environmental conditions of homes in Bogotá

This work establishes the methodological framework on which two scenarios of renewable energy use strategies (energy transition) focused on urban planning and environmental conditions of houses in Bogotá are evaluated, based on the technical, economic and environmental assessment. The results obtained in the predecessor research carried out at the Antonio Nariño University on the pre-feasibility of wind and solar systems for residential self-sufficiency are evaluated under the implication of the new incentives included in Law 1715 of 2014. The results of said study show that the wind system is unable to obtain a payback period for the investment, even considering the application of the new legal incentives, while the solar photovoltaic system can pay off within the established useful life horizon; when applying the incentives of Law 1715 (Value added tax and customs taxes excluded); The work concludes that it is possible to obtain a payback period of the system between 10.6 and 12.9 years, depending on the socioeconomic strata where it is implemented [1], however, according to the economic evaluation criteria and the variability of the Market conditions, this range of the payback period, as well as other profitability indicators can vary significantly. Additionally, the research methodology currently being carried out between the Universidad de La Salle and the Universidad Antonio Nariño entitled "Renewable energy use strategies focused on urban planning and environmental conditions of housing in Colombia" is partially synthesized. In this investigative process and taking as reference the UPZ 36 (San José-Localidad Rafael Uribe) and 57 (Gran Yomasa-Localidad Usme) of the city of Bogotá, a pilot process is carried out to assess the possible change that may arise in the human and environmental health, with the potential replacement of the electrical energy source in homes.
